With the strength of more than 8,000 riotous potters, Hu Gongye became great in a down-to-earth manner. This greatness was engraved in the wrinkles of Gong Ye's head, appeared on Gong Ye's solemn and stern face, and was mixed with Gong Ye's speech and demeanor. Gong Ye spoke with a big grin, scolded with a big grin, bargained with a big grin, and smashed the bench with a big grin! Who dares to do anything to Gongye? Gong Ye is the general representative of the potters' delegation, is the key figure in deciding this riot, Gong Ye represents the 8,000 potters, followed by 8,000 potters, Gong Ye is now on an equal footing with the town guard Zhang Guixin, and the county magistrate Zhang Heran, and the big officials in the province and Beijing!

This is a glorious moment that can be recorded in the history of Tianjiapu Town, in this glorious moment, Hu Gongye, who is highly respected and respected, is conducting arduous and serious negotiations on behalf of the local kiln people and the officials of Beijing. The negotiations have been going on for three full days, and no progress has been made on substantive issues, ** and the company have discussed the need to seal the well, and many experts have been invited to confirm that there are no living people under the kiln. But Gong Ye didn't believe it, Gong Ye insisted: Even if the people under the kiln are dead, all the corpses must be carried out; Otherwise, the well cannot be sealed.

Gong Ye has seen the weakness of **, on the 27th, the potters seized the door of the company, but Zhang Guixin's army did not dare to attack, which is enough to show the weakness of **, ** is also fucking bullying and afraid of hard! If you don't come hard, it won't treat you as a human being, it thinks you're weak and easy to bully, and it will arrange your fate in the name of the country! Bastard thing!

Gong Ye doesn't pee on your pot!

The power that Gongye relies on is not just 8,000 potters. In the past three days, Gong Ye has contacted many gentry and celebrities in the three counties around Ningyang through various channels to form the "Tian Case Support Association", which is also Gong Ye's backing. In addition, there is an unexpected force that is also supporting him - this is really a power that Gong Ye never dreamed of, Zhang Heiyan, the leader of the pole bandits entrenched in the deep mountain nest of Daqing Mountain, also sent a letter and a gun through Li Xiucai of Xiaoli Village, saying that he wanted to help him and the town guard Zhang Guixin to the end! At first, he and Tian Er were very puzzled, and they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd with the black face of the bandit; Later, after repeated questioning, Li Xiucai explained the truth: It turned out that the guns and bullets were not sent by Zhang Heimi, but by Li Si Mazi, and Zhang Heimi's gang will soon accept Li Si Mazi's reorganization and fight Zhang Guixin with Brigade Commander Li's team!

Li Xiucai is a person, Gong Ye is known, Xiucai is well-versed in the past and the present, and knows everything about today, Li Xiucai said: "When today's situation is multi-legged, it is by no means that the Duan clan can be unified by force, the alliance of the eight provinces against Duan has been formed, and a big war is inevitable; The fall of Lao Duan is just around the corner, and Zhang Guixin, who is attached to the Duan family, has no future at all, and now is the time to take the opportunity to drive Zhang! Therefore, you need not worry, just do it; No matter how far it goes, the unlucky one can only be Zhang Guixin! At that time, Brigade Commander Li will be the guard of Ningyang Town, or the overseer of the province, maybe he will also get a seat for Gongye to sit in as a county master! ”

It's a great time to do it!

Gong Ye had such a solid foundation in his heart, and he became more and more hardened. He weighed it repeatedly, and felt that he should help Brigade Commander Li to fight Brigade Commander Zhang, Brigade Commander Zhang-Zhang Guixin is really not a thing! Not to mention anything else, just the article of opening up to Tianjiapu to protect Dahua Company is absolutely unacceptable to Gongye! As soon as they met, they actually put up a shelf against Gong Ye, like a big man, phew! What the hell!

However, after thinking about it again, I came up with a new way. Gong Ye has always had little understanding of the provincial government, Beijing, and the bureaucracy that affects the whole country. And fight so fiercely! That's where the opportunity comes in. Let's take the present, Brigade Commander Li can take advantage of the kiln workers' riot and use him Hu Gongye to beat Brigade Commander Zhang; Wouldn't he and his fellow potters also be able to use the guns in Brigade Commander Li's hands to protect themselves! If he forced Brigade Commander Zhang to bow his head, why did he have to expel Brigade Commander Zhang from Ningyang?

There is a bit of cunning at this end, and Gong Ye feels that he has entered the door by engaging in politics......

Naturally, this can't be talked about with Li Xiucai, engaging in politics is just fucking conspiracy! Gong Ye and Tian Er discussed it, and decided at the moment: pull Brigade Commander Li, hold a black face, aim at Brigade Commander Zhang, and make a good fuss. Brigade Commander Li's 100 guns and more than a dozen boxes of bullets were accepted - don't do it in vain, Gong Ye still wants to pull out a militia group to defend the township in the future! Li Xiucai struck while the iron was hot again, and suggested to Gong Ye: In order to cause influence and gain the initiative, the potters should take immediate action and try to take Brigade Commander Zhang and the ** officials as hostages during the negotiation process!

This idea is too vicious, Gong Ye and the second master agreed that it can't be done! The kidnapping of Brigade Commander Zhang is bound to anger the soldiers of that brigade, and a bloody battle is inevitable; The hijacking of ** officials is an out-and-out rebellion, and the ** side will never take it lightly, and will definitely bring in soldiers to encircle and suppress it, so that the situation will not be able to be cleaned up! Tian Er even thought: Brigade Commander Li is also engaged in a conspiracy, he wants to borrow the hands of the potters to create an excuse to enter Ningyang, if Gongye really takes the potters to do this, the blood on the ground of Tianjiapu is like a river, and Brigade Commander Li Si Mazi will never come forward to help the potters, he may use the banner of suppressing bandits to stew the potters and Zhang Guixin's soldiers with a spoon!

Gong Ye and the second master made it clear that they only wanted things to be resolved fairly and properly, and they didn't want to be enemies of **; Moreover, the kiln change was originally caused by Dahua Company, that is, to tie up two hostages, and it must not attack Brigade Commander Zhang and the ** officials.

This greatly disappointed Li Xiucai......

After Li Xiucai left, Gong Ye discussed with the second master, and the two agreed: things are more complicated; Every step in the future, we must be cautious, not to succumb to the pressure of Zhang Guixin, but also not to fall for Li Si Mazi, we must look at the overall situation, according to the situation, in order to be able to take responsibility for the 8,000 potters!

However, Gong Ye advocated the kidnapping of Li Shicheng and Zhao Dezhen.

Gong Ye often has no good impression of Li Shicheng and Zhao Dezhen. After Dahua Company opened a mine in Tianjiapu, Li Shicheng and Zhao Dezhen once visited Gongye and asked Gongye to be a local consultant. On the surface, Li Shicheng and Zhao Dezhen have great respect for Gong Ye, but in essence, this is not the case, the actual benefits, Gong Ye did not get any benefits, and he worked hard as a consultant for a year, only a hundred yuan, and even half a year's cigarette money was not enough. In the winter of the year before last, Gong Ye wanted to ask the company how many cars of coal to roast the fire, but the company didn't give it! Mom's, Gong Ye was on fire, so he simply quit the nominal consultant and quit. Later, when there was "cholera" in the mining area, the company's people wanted to inject the kiln workers, which caused panic among the kiln workers, and Gong Ye took the opportunity to fan the flames and instigated Hu Fuxiang, the three mules, to lead the strike. After this catastrophe, Gong Ye was happy and stepped forward, Gong Ye came to uphold justice for the 8,000 potters, to seek justice for the dead workers, and to expand his political influence; Second, I want to take revenge on the company's bastards! Gong Ye expected that Li Shicheng and Zhao Dezhen would come to buy him, and he was fully mentally prepared and waited to accept their bribes. He estimated that it would be a lot of money, at least three or five thousand dollars! Think about it, more than 1,000 people died, such a big deal! Without three or five thousand pieces of ocean, can you send Hu Gongye, the leader of the potters? Gong Ye has already thought about it, the minimum is 3,000 yuan, and if there is no 3,000 yuan, there is no need to open his mouth! Even if it is 3,000 yuan, Gong Ye can't agree to help so neatly, Gong Ye has to build a full shelf, and he has to let them know the greatness of Gong Ye! What if it's 4,000 dollars? Naturally, the shelf still has to be built, but it should be polite, and if it is 5,000 yuan, then there is no need to build a shelf - buying Gong Ye with 5,000 yuan of heavy money, can't it prove the greatness of Gong Ye! After receiving the 5,000 yuan, Gong Ye will not betray the interests of the potters; Gong Ye can agree to the company's closure of the well and help the company do some appeasement things, but the pension that should be given to the families of the dead potters cannot be missing, otherwise, Gong Ye's political reputation will be affected, and the position of the leader will not be maintained.

So, Gong Ye waited silently from the first day of the disaster, and waited for nearly ten days, waiting for the intervention of the ** side, and waiting for the formal negotiations between the two sides, however, the company did not come to buy him! Don't say three thousand, five thousand, not even a fucking big son! This could not help but make him angry! Money is a trivial matter, and a mere 3,000 or 5,000 yuan is nothing, the problem is that the company's bastard hurts Gongye's self-esteem! They don't look down on Gong Ye at all, and they don't recognize Gong Ye's leadership status in Tianjiapu at all!

Actually, is Gongye rare these two stinky money? Will Gong Ye really accept such a shameless bribe? Bah! Gong Ye is bright and open-minded, you just want to buy it, and Gong Ye may not accept it! Gong Ye sometimes likes to think cranky, but Gong Ye is not that kind of despicable villain at all, Gong Ye's greatness is recognized by the people of Tianjiapu!

Gong Ye wanted to give Li Shicheng and Zhao Dezhen a little color, and Gong Ye decided to kidnap these two bastards!

Tian Er disagreed.

Tian Er said: Our main opponents today are not Li Shicheng and Zhao Dezhen, but ** officials and Zhang Guixin's soldiers, and there is no benefit to kidnapping Li Shicheng and Zhao Dezhen, but it will complicate things, give people an impression of being arrogant and lawless, and do not conform to the strategic policy of "winning by mourning". The resourceful second master has always believed that Tianjiapu is a fortress of ancient civilization, and must not let his arrogant and illegal actions ruin its beautiful image. The second master pays attention to "loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness and faith", pays attention to serving the country with loyalty, governing the family with filial piety, treating people with courtesy, dealing with the world with righteousness, and standing up with faith. In this cataclysmic negotiation, the second master has always used this five-character principle as the fundamental basis for judging the situation and formulating strategies.

Tian Er tried his best to persuade Hu Gongye, and repeatedly made it clear that making trouble is not the end in itself, but the only goal is to uphold justice for the local people and solve the problem reasonably. Naturally, the second master also insisted on understanding the whereabouts of more than 1,000 people under the kiln, even if it was a corpse, he had to move it out. The second master is merciful and compassionate, and the second master knows that people who die and lie under the deep kiln will not ascend to heaven, and the relatives of the deceased will not agree, which is unreasonable in heaven and human feelings. The second master's idea is: as long as the dead and living under the kiln are brought up together, the company can give enough compensation and compensation to the relatives of the deceased, and everyone will not have to make trouble anymore. However, the second master also knew that this was the case, and the company couldn't do it, they never thought about getting the corpse to the kiln! In the eyes of these guys, human corpses are simply inferior to the corpses of pigs and dogs, and they will not think of the big problem of the souls of the dead ascending to heaven!

On the issue of corpses, the second master is determined to fight, even if he starts a war for this, the second master will not hesitate!

However, the second master did not advocate kidnapping Li Shicheng and Zhao Dezhen.

Gong Ye became suspicious because of this.

Gong Ye suspected that the second master had accepted the bribe of the company's bastard! Gong Ye took the words and deeds of the second master very seriously, and recalled them one by one in the ten days after the catastrophe, and found it more and more suspicious. In the days after the catastrophe, the second master had almost no active and active behavior. In many individual discussions, in several meetings of the potters' delegation, he was the main peace, repeatedly discouraged the violent actions of the group, this old guy repeatedly stressed the need to "win with sorrow", what is the intention, it is really difficult to guess! The year before last, Gong Ye resigned as a consultant, and the second master did not resign, until the catastrophe, the second master and the guys in the company still had dealings! So, how much does this old guy charge the company! Three thousand, five thousand? Or more?

Thinking about it like this, Gong Ye was even more angry! The company bought Tian Er, but did not buy him Hu Gongye; Doesn't it mean that the company recognizes the greatness of Tian Er, but denies his greatness? How could this be true......

But no evidence was found.

At this moment, Gong Ye still does not dare to believe that the second master has been conclusively bought by the company. Gong Ye can't mention this, the only way for Gong Ye to do this is to give the guys in the company something hard, so that they can understand that even if they buy Tian Er, as long as they don't buy him Hu Gongye, the matter will never be over!

Gong Ye didn't listen to the second master's dissuasion at all, and decided to find an opportunity to kidnap Li Shicheng and Zhao Dezhen away, knock on a bar, and force them to buy him!

This is the third time we have negotiated. Before the negotiations, Gong Ye announced his kidnapping plan, and most of the potters' representatives agreed, and even if the plan was formulated, they were ready to implement it.

Now, Gong Ye and the three representatives of the potters are talking enthusiastically with Liu Yunlin and Li Bingchi, the representatives of the first party, and Li Shicheng and Zhao Dezhen, the representatives of the company, in the smoky meeting hall. In fact, at this time, Gong Ye's mind was no longer on the negotiation at all, he had a tough attitude, and he had a negative attitude towards any suggestions from ** and the company.

Li Bingchi naively believed that his eloquence could completely convince the Gongye and the potters' representatives.

Lee Bing-chi said:

"Mr. Hu and the delegates talked about heavenly principles and human feelings, and I can fully understand Li, and the company can also understand it! When a person dies and can't even see the body, it is naturally emotionally inexplicable; If possible, the company should do its best to remove the remains of the deceased workers from the kiln. However, the reality is that the underground fire is burning violently, and the people on the ground can't get down at all; It is completely impossible to clean up the corpses until the ground fire is extinguished! Just now, you also talked about the issue of the soul ascending to heaven, in fact, this is very absurd, modern science has proved that there is no soul after death, I hope you do not believe this kind of deceptive words! ”

Gong Ye ignored it, Gong Ye had already made enough noise, and now he leaned back on the high-backed chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Li Bingchi took a sip of tea and said:

"I have repeatedly said that the purpose of sealing the mine is not to protect the company's underground minerals, but to protect this unlimited coal field! This is where the interests of the country lie, where the interests of the people lie, and where the interests of future generations lie! This is also your own self-interest! If this coalfield is destroyed, you potters will also lose their livelihood, and you will be unemployed forever......"

Gong Ye opened his eyes and interjected:

"! In the early years, there were no coal mines, and we lived better! ”

Li Bingchi frowned and smiled bitterly:

"Mr. Hu, please calm your anger. You've said a lot just now, and allow me to finish it! ”

"Say, Gongye, I didn't gag your mouth!"

"Good! I continued. Therefore, I hope that you can focus on the overall situation and the interests of the country, withdraw from several wellheads first, and let ** and the company work together to extinguish the fire......"

"That is, sealing the well?" Wang Dongling, the representative of the potters, said, "Isn't this back to the old problem?" Let's just not talk about the corpses, but only the living, if there are still living people under the kiln, won't they all be buried alive by you? ”

Gong Ye was impatient:

"Does Li have any new ideas? If not, let's just disperse! ”

After speaking, Gong Ye stood up, shook his wide sleeves, patted the cigarette ash on his shirt, and pretended to be leaving.

"Don't be busy!" Li Bingchi added, "We have a new suggestion: if you can agree to withdraw from the mine and seal the well, we can discuss it again, and we can consider sending someone to investigate the kiln with your representatives again; At the same time, when dealing with this catastrophe, we will also consider your request and try our best to give generous bereavement to the relatives of the deceased workers. ”

Gong Ye seemed to be moved by Li Bingchi's words, looked at the three potter representatives around him, and sat down lazily:

"Write it down, clerk!"

"It's natural!"

"We also want to hear what the company's manager Li means."

Li Shicheng thought that the time was ripe, so he hurriedly stood up and said:

"We naturally obey the ruling of the ** side, and we will never treat the dead workers badly, please rest assured!"

Li Shicheng also hopes to end the endless disaster in front of him as soon as possible, and also hopes to seal the well as soon as possible. In any case, there are tens of thousands of meters of roadways and huge machinery and equipment of the company underground, and he does not want the fire to completely destroy them, as long as the mine can be closed as soon as possible, the company can suffer a little less loss, and he knows this truth. But before that, it was reasonable for him not to actively raise the issue of sealing the well, and he was afraid that if he raised this issue, it would cause greater misunderstanding among the potters.

From the disaster to today, Li Shicheng has always been worried, he always has a sense of entering the end of the road, his situation is too difficult: the fire in the underground is not extinguished, tens of thousands of potters occupy the mine to make trouble; ** Constant pressure; Zhang Guixin, the town guard, spoke disrespectfully, and the officials in Beijing and the province also put on the faces of ministers one by one, which really made him unbearable, and he was almost driven crazy......

This is the fate that Chinese industrialists must accept!

He really regretted it at this time, he knew that he really shouldn't have vetoed the cooperation with Taro Yamamoto of East Asia Company on the spur of the moment! If he had cooperated with Taro Yamamoto three years ago, and China and Japan had jointly established Dahua Company, the situation today would not have been so bad! Even if something bigger happens, ** don't dare to be so rude**! That's what happened these days, when you get involved with foreigners, especially Japanese, you can't do it!

However, Taro Yamamoto has not forgotten him, Li Shicheng. On the third day of the catastrophe, Taro Yamamoto sent his personal representative, Ono, from Tianjin to the provincial capital and to Beijing, where he was involved in frequent activities. It is reported that Ono opened up the joints of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce and the Provincial Department of Industry in Beijing, intending to take over the Tianjiapu Coal Mine after the collapse of Dahua Company. This news was inadvertently revealed to him by Li Bingchi, the special office of the Provincial Department of Industry, during a conversation, and he became angry when he heard it. On what basis did Taro Yamamoto believe that Dahua was about to go bankrupt? Why did you come to the land of Tianjiapu to run a mine? Isn't this taking advantage of the fire? Just to fight for the Chinese, his Dahua company can't go out of business!

On May 30, that is, yesterday, Ono visited Tianjiapu in person, and that evening, accompanied by a Chinese clerk, had a very frank meeting with him. That night, he was in a bad mood and had a very unpleasant conversation with Ono. Ono's attitude was very sincere, and he first stated that the Dong-A Company had absolutely no desire to gloat over the catastrophe of the fields and mines, nor did it want to see the Dahua Company go bankrupt as a result, and the Dong-A Company was still willing to jointly set up the fields and mines with the Dahua Company, and was willing to assist the Dahua Company in extinguishing the earth fire and surviving the crisis.

Li Shicheng didn't believe this set of nonsense at all, and said with a cold smile:

"In that case, why did you request the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce and the Department of Industry to exclusively take over the Tianjiapu Coal Mine?"

Ono argued:

"This is a misunderstanding! It's a complete misunderstanding! The East Asia company proposed to your country** that it should be jointly organized instead of independently, and besides, ......"

Li Shicheng said coldly:

"If Dahua goes bankrupt due to compensation, who will you co-organize?"

"This ...... What's this...... We certainly don't want that to happen! ”

"Please answer Mr. Ono clearly!"

Ono had no choice but to have a showdown.

"If your company really fails completely, we have considered setting it up alone or in partnership with other Chinese companies. However, on the issue of independence, your country ** said: there is no such consideration at present, if it is decided to hand over the fields and mines to outsiders in the future, priority should be given to East Asia companies! ”

Li Shicheng suddenly laughed and said:

"Then I tell you, and please also tell Mr. Taro Yamamoto: the contemptible people are fully capable of surviving this crisis, and Dahua Company will not collapse because of this, and it is too early for him to ask me to sign an alliance under the city!"

In a fit of rage, he once again rejected the East Asia Company!

He understood the intentions of the East Asia Company, and the biggest hope of the East Asia Company was for the Dahua Company to collapse and let them run the mines on their own. At the same time, they also left a hand, that is, to co-organize with Dahua without going bankrupt. Therefore, they not only want to collude with the traitor, but also temporarily win over him Li Shicheng.

This is delusional! He, Li Shicheng, would rather use his own net worth and life to compensate for this catastrophe than let the conspiracy of the East Asia Company succeed!

When Li Bingchi talked to him about the East Asia Company, he was also extremely dissatisfied with its practice of taking advantage of the fire to rob and make a discussion with great emotion, scolding the Chinese industrialists for being weak and incompetent, and causing all the important coal mines on Chinese soil to fall into the hands of foreigners. This made Li Shicheng happy, and he had some good feelings about this domineering special officer. It turned out that he didn't have a good impression of him, he felt that he was too arrogant, and he didn't eat oil and salt, so it was difficult to deal with.

**After the officials and Zhang Guixin's soldiers entered the mine, Li Shicheng, in order to exonerate himself from his responsibilities in the future and to tide over the difficulties in front of him, through the assistant Chen Xiangyu, successively sent a sum of money to more than a dozen people, including Zhang Guixin, the town guard, Liu Yunlin of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, and Zhang Heran and Li Bingchi, the county governor, ranging from 3,500 yuan to 500 yuan. He first thought that he was too little, and added another 500 yuan, totaling 3,500 yuan, which was equal to Zhang Guixin, the town guard, but he still didn't want it, not only did he not want it, but he also reprimanded Chen Xiangyu, saying that Dahua Company insulted his personality by doing this, which made Li Shicheng very embarrassed.

Now, Li Shicheng fell on this Li Zhuan Office who did not enter the oil and salt, and found something valuable, that is, the backbone of the Chinese! This Li has some patriotic enthusiasm, which he quite appreciates. Specializing in patriotism, he Li Shicheng is also patriotic, everyone is patriotic, and things are much easier to do!

But there are also unpatriotic people! These people are Hu Gongye, Tian Er and those ignorant potters! They don't know anything about the "21 Articles", they don't know anything about the "Shandong Negotiations" at all, and they don't know anything about the hatefulness of the Japanese! I don't know that the Japanese are reaching out to the rich and infinite coalfield of Tianjiapu! This is really a great tragedy for the Chinese, as a Chinese is not patriotic, prefers to make trouble with the Chinese themselves, can China do well? Can China's industry deliver real results?

After sending Ono away, Li Shicheng decided to change his strategy, gain the trust of the potters with a painful and sacrificial attitude, and strive to seal the well as soon as possible and quell the turmoil as soon as possible! He can't drag it any longer! If it drags on any longer, he can't stand it, and if he doesn't do it well, he may really collapse completely! In fact, he had already made a mistake, after the catastrophe, he just thought of the authority of ** in dealing with this matter, and he really ignored the power of Hu Gongye and Tian Erye, the local snakes on the street of Tianjiapu. He spent a lot of money on ** officials and Zhang Guixin's soldiers, but he didn't spend a big son on Hu Gongye and Tian Er, and as a result, things became more and more troublesome. He was ruthless, discussed with Zhao Dezhen, and spent 3,000 yuan from the already small amount of cash as the cost of dealing with these inferior gentry and ruffians; At the same time, he also repeatedly made it clear to Li Bingchi and Liu Yunlin in private that as long as the well could be sealed smoothly and the situation would not be expanded, he would rather take out some more money to pay for the bereavement and compensation of the dead potters.

However, Li Shicheng never dreamed that it was too late, all remedies were too late, and Hu Gongye was already ready to launch a deadly attack on him.

Naturally, Gong Ye did not expose his plan to attack. Gong Ye is a politician and knows how to be subtle, Gong Ye saw that Li Shicheng had the intention of making concessions, so he pretended to be very interested and poked his head into the table:

"Just now General Manager Li talked about obeying the ** ruling, which is naturally good; **Rule, everyone must obey. However, when it comes to not treating the workers who died badly, we would like to ask, how can it be regarded as not being treated badly? How is the company going to pay compensation and compensation? ”

Li Shicheng said:

"For specific rules, we can negotiate specifically, according to the past practice, if one person dies, the company will pay fifty yuan; Now, we can pay sixty or seventy. ”

Gong Ye was obviously very disappointed, and snorted heavily:

"Does this mean that a human life is only worth sixty or seventy oceans? So, Gongye, I have ten times more, and I buy your head for 700 yuan, do you sell it? ”

Li Shicheng shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, and stopped talking.

Potter representative Wang Dongling said:

"The deceased workers must be compensated, and the responsibility for the catastrophe must be investigated! More than 1,000 lives! Don't you just ask? ”

Lee Bing-chi said:

"It's a matter of ** to investigate and punish those responsible for the catastrophe, ** will not ignore it!" Li Bingchi was very excited, and when he spoke, his arms couldn't help waving, "** attaches great importance to this explosion tragedy, and those responsible for the tragedy must be brought to justice and dealt with severely!" The Senate and House of Representatives of the Beijing National Assembly have learned of the disaster and will send a delegation to inspect the site in person within a few days. So, let's come to an agreement on extinguishing the fire first! ”

Li Bingchi is smart, and in his speech at this negotiation, he tried his best to avoid the sensitive words "sealing the well."

Gong Ye was not interested in this question.

Gong Ye still held on to the issue of bereavement, he stared at Li Shicheng hatefully, and said in a weird manner:

"Mr. General Manager, let's first reach an agreement on the issue of bereavement benefits; Otherwise, things may not be easy! If you don't give enough compensation to the families of the deceased, I'm afraid you won't be able to seal this well! ”

Lee Bing-chi said:

"If an agreement is reached on the issue of bereavement benefits, and you agree to seal the well, can you first propose a draft agreement?"

Li Shicheng also said:

"Yes, you can go back and discuss it, come up with your conditions, and the company will seriously consider it."

"Really?" Gong Ye smiled confidently and said, "The potters' delegation has held consultations on this issue, and the general conditions are as follows: 1. Severely punish those responsible for the catastrophe in this matter. 2. Give generous bereavement benefits to the family members of the deceased, and the compensation shall not be less than 200 yuan per person; 3. During the company's shutdown, the kiln workers' salaries were paid. Look at it, how simple it is, as long as we ensure that Dahua Company can do these three, we can immediately negotiate on the issue of sealing the well! ”

Li Shicheng was very shocked, turned his face to look at Li Bingchi, and then looked at Liu Yunlin, and said with a sad face:

"As I said just now, the punishment of those responsible will be handled by **; For the other two, we can discuss, each victim will pay 200 yuan, which is several times higher than the normal pension, is it too harsh, right? There is also a third article, the company will pay wages during the shutdown, I'm afraid it can't be justified......"

"In that case, we'll talk about fucking!" Wang Dongling took the case.

At this time, Liu Yunlin, a representative of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, who had been presiding over the meeting, spoke:

"General Manager Li, you are the person who is fully responsible for Dahua Company, and you have an unshirkable responsibility for such a major accident in the company! I advise you to seriously consider the conditions put forward by the potters, and do not refuse them in one go! It's going to be a long time coming, your company still has to do it, and things have to be solved, well, isn't it? ”

Liu Yunlin's old face hung a smile of unknown meaning, obviously there was something in his words.

Li Shicheng seemed to have realized something, so he immediately changed his attitude and said to Gongye and the three potter representatives:

"Mr. Hu, fellow workers, don't get me wrong, I didn't refuse your conditions just now, the company does have some specific difficulties for these three articles, but it is generally acceptable, even if it is 200 yuan per person, the salary is paid during the shutdown, the company can also pay, because the company does not want to close due to this catastrophe!"

Gong Ye pretended to be very happy, shook his head and said:

"Good! Wouldn't it be over if you General Manager Li had already agreed like this? I hope you will say this to the workers outside the building, and reassure their hearts! ”

Liu Yunlin thought that Gong Ye had taken the bait, and said happily:

"Yes! Probably so! Mr. Li, you can go downstairs with Mr. Hu to talk about it, and give you the truth, won't everyone make trouble? ”

"Good! I'll just tell you about it! Li Shicheng also made up his mind and decided to do a deceitful deception.

Liu Yunlin saw that the time was not early, so he got up and said:

"So, is that all for today? We'll talk about it again tomorrow! ”

There were no objections from all participants, and the third negotiation was concluded. At this time, the sky was getting dark......

Gong Ye and the representatives of the potters didn't believe Li Shicheng's deceptive nonsense at all. Gong Ye pretended to believe it, just to trick Li Shicheng downstairs and in front of the potter, so that he could carry out his kidnapping plan. is that Li Shicheng really agreed to the three conditions, and Gong Ye still has to tie it up - among those three conditions, there is no benefit for Gong Ye himself at all, and this bastard surnamed Li doesn't come to buy Gong Ye, why doesn't Gong Ye tie it? It's a pity that Zhao Dezhen and that damn assistant Chen Xiangyu have not shown up in this negotiation, or they should be tied up together.

Gong Ye, Li Shicheng and Li Bingchi walked downstairs together, and came to the steps in front of the foyer of the building.

"Quiet, quiet, General Manager Li of the company is now talking to everyone! Don't make a noise, everyone! ”

Then, Li Shicheng stood up and spoke.

Just as Li Shicheng was speaking, a group of ruffians on the demarcation street arranged by Gongye swarmed up, grabbed Li Shicheng and dragged him into the crowd. These ruffians are dressed as potters, with broken wicker hats on their heads and mining axes pinned to their waists, and their movements are quite swift. While tearing Li Shicheng, they shouted:

"We can't hear it, please come here and talk about it!"

"That's right! Let's go, go inside! ”

"Guys, get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Under the cover of a noisy sound, Li Shicheng was involuntarily dragged down the steps, and he was forced to walk more than a dozen steps with his arms crossed, seeing that Gongye's great plan was about to be realized......

But at this moment, Li Shicheng suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he shouted loudly:

"Let go of me! Let go! Don't be so unreasonable! ”

Li Bingchi also saw the problem, and hurriedly said to an officer next to him who was responsible for guarding the building:

"Quick! Fast! Get Li Shicheng into the building, you can't let them mess around like this! ”

The officer immediately fired his gun into the air, and while firing into the air, he commanded his soldiers:

"Quick! Rush down, break up the rioters, and snatch General Manager Li back! ”

Suddenly, more than 100 soldiers on the square of the building swarmed up, pounded with **, shouldered, and kicked with their feet, broke into the chaotic crowd, and approached Li Shicheng, who was twisted. At this time, the soldiers did not shoot, and the potters only resisted with their fists and feet, without using the weapons in their hands. But when the soldiers grabbed Li Shicheng and hugged Li Shicheng to retreat in the direction of the building, the ruffians were annoyed, and they didn't know who picked up the axe first and knocked down the two soldiers, and the soldiers hooked the guns in their hands, and with the burst of gunfire, several potters screamed and fell to the ground......

The potters were enraged, and they stepped forward with sticks and axes, and launched a dangerous fight with the soldiers, and a ** gun hidden in the crowd also fired, and in an instant, people rushed to run for their lives, but they couldn't escape, so they had to rampage through the crowd, shouting and screaming.

The official battle lasted very short, only ten minutes in total, and finally, when Li Shicheng and Li Bingchi hid in the building, the soldiers in the square also retreated into the building. The soldiers guarding the roof of the building fired another burst of gunfire before forcing all the potters in the square to retreat. However, this brief engagement left eight of the potters dead and nineteen wounded; The soldiers guarding the official building also killed three and wounded fifteen.

Gong Ye's kidnapping plan fell through, which further deepened his hatred for the company, the **, and the GIs! Gong Ye is out! Gong Ye doesn't fight with these turtle king bastards, winning or losing will never be over!

That night, Gong Ye himself was also injured, and there was a small misunderstanding between the two iron sand from the crowd and Gong Ye's neck, and Gong Ye shed a lot of blood!

Gong Ye bled - Gong Ye didn't get any benefits, but he shed a lot of blood, can Gong Ye not fight?!

On that day, Zhang Guixin, the town guard, was not in the town, and he went to Ningyang City to greet the Beijing Committee.

That night, Liu Yihua, a reporter from Minxin Daily, was writing an article entitled "Investigation of the Current Situation of Kiln Workers in Dahua Company", and he did not know about the tragedy in front of the square of the company's official building. As early as three days earlier, he had moved out of the company's public house and lived in a small carriage and horse shop on the side of Tianjia District on Boundary Street, and he felt that the carriage and horse shop where the inferior people lived would be better able to know the real situation of some potters, and it would be more convenient for him to investigate the work.

By the time he was in charge, he was halfway through the article; Based on the accounts of the kiln workers, and his own imagination, he wrote the following passage about the situation under the kiln:

"The situation in the kiln is unimaginable, because the company does not allow outsiders to enter the kiln, and the ground fire is burning, the author can not go deep into the field to investigate, so it is difficult to describe in detail. However, according to the potter's account, it is really shocking! The company blindly makes money and regards the lives of kiln workers as child's play; The project in the kiln is extremely hasty, and the kiln workers operate with great difficulty; Wearing a lamp on his head, his hands and feet go hand in hand, his neck cannot be extended, his arms must not be straight, and he walks on his knees to engage in mining. And floods, rock avalanches, gas surges, the danger of life is often imminent! And the kiln is low and narrow, and the popularity, sweat, rustic gas, and mineral gas are mixed into one, and it is disgusting to smell it, which is really not in line with the minimum hygiene ......"

As he was writing this, Tian Da broke into the guest room in a hurry, and said breathlessly when he entered the door:

"Mr. Liu, it's not good! Holy shit, something happened! Something happened again! ”

Liu Yihua put down the pen, stood up, pulled out a bench from under the bed, and wiped the floating ash on it:

"What's going on again? Sit! Sit down and talk! ”

Tian Dahao sat down on the bench. He wiped his sweat and said:

"Grandma is a bear, just now in the square of the official building, the soldiers under Zhang Gui's new hand are fighting with the brothers again! Dozens of dead and wounded! Fuck me! ”

"Oh? For what? ”

Liu Yihua was startled, and hurriedly grabbed a pen and paper from the broken square table, ready to write down something.

"I know this best, fuck! Hu Gongye is to blame for this matter - Gongye wanted to kidnap Li Shicheng, but as a result, the people were not tied up, but they annoyed the soldiers......" Tian Da scolded and scolded and told the matter from beginning to end. In the end, I couldn't help but make a comment: "Fuck, how can you be so reckless in doing things?" Hu Gongye is also too fucking capable, he always thinks that he is smarter than the second master of our Tian family, in fact, he is worse than our second master! Don't talk about our second master, this thing is to ask me Tian Da to make trouble, and I won't be so reckless! Grandma is a bear, even if she kidnaps people, she can't do it in this big square, let alone in front of those soldiers! You say, don't you? Mr. Liu! ”

Liu Yihua didn't speak. His mood was very heavy, and when Tian Da was talking, he had a premonition in his heart, he felt that the potters were under the manipulation of Hu Gongye and Tian Er, and if they blindly continued to make trouble like this, the ending might be very tragic! He thought that there was a very strange phenomenon in the land of China -- in the struggle against the bloody and profit-seeking capitalist class, the poor and miserable potters and the local gentlemen who were not poor and miserable formed a united front, and these local gentry were in fact a bunch of feudal remnants, and these feudal remnants, like the capitalist class, should all be overthrown, and the poor people really should not be influenced by their patriarchal ideas and regional concepts, let alone be united with them! He concluded that Hu Gongye and Tian Er did not really want to uphold justice and seek rights for the potters, and that their active participation in this struggle had their own despicable purposes. This is the tragedy of the Chinese people, and the reason why China's popular movement is difficult to have the same momentum and influence as Russia, France, and the United States is to a large extent because they have not yet stepped onto the stage of history with an independent attitude. If you think about it, since the truth about the "21 Articles" was revealed at the Paris Peace Conference, from Beijing, Tianjin, and Jinan to Shanghai, Nanjing, and Suzhou, the whole country has almost been in protest, and the most ferocious people are the academics and the intellectuals in society, followed by the chambers of commerce in various places, and the poor people at the bottom have not shown their strength to resist - although there have been workers' strikes in many places, the initiators are not real workers, and most of them are still intellectuals. It can be seen from this that the most advanced class in China is still a patriotic intellectual class, and the patriotic intellectual class has the obligation to enlighten the people's wisdom with advanced ideas, help the workers and peasants to independently enter China's political arena, and make the Republic of China truly a country of the people......

Thinking of this, Liu Yihua was extremely excited, and as a member of the advanced intellectual class, he was determined to devote his life to enlightening the people's wisdom. The current situation of Tianjiapu made him feel uneasy, the constant and senseless bloodshed of the potters made him feel sad, he cared about this struggle, supported this struggle, he could not help but say something to Tian Dahao as a close friend, he had the obligation to free them from the palms of Hu Gongye, Tian Er and the like, and take the road they should take independently!

Their fate can only be in their own hands!

Ever since he met him that day, he had developed an unusually good impression of him, and he felt that he was straightforward, honest, sacrificial and dedicated, and could make a difference in this struggle. Later, Dahao invited some potters surnamed Tian and guest potters to come to him, and he also saw many valuable things in them, and he thought that they could completely get rid of the control of Hu Gongye and Tian Erye, and set up a real workers' group to lead the struggle.

Now, he wanted to talk to the big fuss about it. After being silent for a long time, Liu Yihua slowly spoke:

"Brother of the big trouble, you are right just now, today's bloodshed is really undeserved; If you were to take the lead, you wouldn't do it, would you? ”

The fuss nodded his head:

"Holy shit! That's natural! ”

Liu Yihua frowned, and immediately thought that the potters had been in an uneducated and oppressed position for a long time, and naturally had some bad habits, which should be guided. Just talk, why add a "fuck me"? Grammatically redundant and too uncivilized!

"So, didn't you and your co-workers think of abandoning Hu Gongye and Tian Er, being independent, and doing it yourself?"

This question was asked too abruptly, Tian Dahao didn't have any mental preparation at all, he looked at Liu Yihua in a daze, as if he was greatly stimulated:

"Mr. Liu, this ...... How is this possible? Fuck me! I'm just a representative of the potters, and when they formed a group, they didn't even let me be the head of the group! ”

The fuss is quite aggrieved.

Liu Yihua stood up excitedly and paced a few steps in the small, damp room:

"Why should they let you be? Wherefore shall they sustain you? The problems faced by the fields and mines are the problems of your potters themselves, and they should be solved by your potters themselves! You calm down and think about it, in this gas explosion, who died in the family of Hu Gongye and Tian Er's family? What exactly do they have to do with this catastrophe? Why are they so actively involved? ”

Tian Da was stunned and said:

"But they are our local celebrities, and they are the elders of our Tian and Hu families; Our surnames Tian and Hu have something, that is, they have something, fuck, they ...... Of course they have to come out! ”

Liu Yihua said:

"Here's the problem! This is the feudal patriarchal concept and regional thinking in making ......"

"Patriarchal concept...... The region is also ...... And thoughts? ”

I don't understand the fuss.

Liu Yihua pulled his broad shoulders and explained enthusiastically:

"That's right! The patriarchal concept is a backward and ignorant concept that is centered on the family, determines its kinship according to the distance of the bloodline, and applies it to the society on this basis. As for regional thinking, to put it simply, it is to divide relatives and relatives by local regions. These two things cover up many substantive contradictions, for example, the same surname Tian, is your Tian Dahao and his second master Tian the same thing? You went down to the kiln to work hard, did he Tian Er also work hard? You are wearing tattered clothes, and his second master Tian is also wearing tattered clothes......"

"Holy shit! I get it! Grandma a bear! ”

Liu Yihua heard two more swear words, and couldn't help but say very solemnly:

"Big trouble, brother, there's another thing, I have to remind you, you just can't open your mouth and scold people, what's 'fuck', 'grandma is a bear', wow, isn't it civilized!"

Scratching his scalp and saying:

"Alas, the verbal word, get used to it!"

"Do you have to change bad habits?"

"I'll change! Holy shit, I'm not going to change ......"

"Look, here we go again!"

Laughed awkwardly.

Next, Liu Yihua was very patient and enthusiastic to explain a lot of truths to Da Hao, and encouraged Da Hao to connect with the representatives of the potters, everyone should be united, and never divide the surnames Tian and Hu anymore, and no longer divide the local and guest names, and strive to make the potter delegation independent as soon as possible and get rid of the control of Hu Gongye and Tian Erye. This made Da Hao very excited, and Da Hao agreed to do it! Since Hu Gongye and Tian Er didn't even let him be the head of the regiment, why did he still listen to their envoys?

After making a big fuss, he came to his senses, and he said to Liu Yihua:

"Mr. Liu is right! I will first collude with the brothers, and I will also ask the gentleman to have a chance to talk to the other representatives, mainly the representatives surnamed Hu. ”

Liu Yihua was delighted, and he considered his work to inspire the people's wisdom to be an unprecedented success, so he responded:

"That's natural, not only the representatives surnamed Hu, but also the representatives of those potters with miscellaneous surnames, I will also talk about them, see them one by one, and talk about them one by one, until you really unite and carry out this great struggle to the end!"

"Then, Mr. Liu, I'll go back and connect now!" The fuss is ready to leave.

"Good! Take care! Use more brains in case of trouble, and don't easily be at the mercy of others! ”

After sending away the big trouble, Liu Yihua wrote another report entitled "The Situation of the Tian Case Continues to Deteriorate, and the Warlords Shoot the Kiln Workers with Arms" according to the specific information provided by the big trouble. In this report, Liu Yihua deliberately concealed Hu Gongye's plot to kidnap Li Shicheng, only saying that the potters were waiting for the negotiators in the square of the official building, and there was an unexpected clash and was shot by the soldiers. At the same time, Hao Wenjin, a reporter from Yishi Herald, also wrote an eyewitness account, entitled "The kiln people rioted and wanted to hijack the general manager of the company".

From then on, the "Minxin Daily" and the "Yishi Herald" launched a fierce pen war over the struggle of the Tianjiapu potters......
